Thanks for posting this, you have revived wonderful memories. I climbed it in 1982 but my buddy backed out on the first pitch so I ended up soloing the route. I am now 69 years of age and recovering from surgery for cancer but most of my best days on earth have been spent in the mountains. Thank you and well done!
Climbed te route in the summer of 1985. Soloed the route trailing a rope for my partner who was new to rock climbing and this was his first climb with crampons and a ice axe. There were no fixed ropes (sort of cheating in my opinion) as seen in this video back then and a lot more snow and ice on mountain.
I didn't realize that you two were walking on the ridge of the peak while you were tied with a rope and the rope was not connected to any support on the rocks. If one person slips and falls, it can end in disaster, and the second person will also fall down due to the shock caused by the climbing rope. So what was the use of the rope between you?
The idea is if one person starts to fall, he yells out the side he's falling on and then the partner jumps to the opposite side as a counter-weight. It's not a perfect or truly safe system, but up on the ridge there is no protection to clip onto and no significant rock features to throw the rope around in a short rope style alpine belay.
Beautiful BUT , No ,No No No and Hell no . i almost died in big sur California many years ago . got into a situation where i panicked and almost fell about a thousand feet . After that i never went climbing again .
The Alps are so civilized. I did most of my climbing in Western Canada where just getting to the base of the route often means days in the wilderness. I’m not sure about those big fat fixed ropes. It would be ok to bolt a hairy section but those fat ropes wouldn’t be ok, that chain ladder definitely not. I joke with my European friends that you never die in the Alps out of sight of a 5 star restaurant. Beautiful place though, just like the summit of almost any mountain.
Also subscribed to you @chiller to see you climb it! Can't wait buddy! It'll be so much easier than your bear infested wilderness you are used to! EZ PZ!

Great filming not much talking,no loud music just pure climbing,excellent.
We have more videos about Matterhorn climbing on our canal. You can enjoy it.
I’m shivering with fear just watching this
Awesome video, captures alpine climbing superbly
Good climb! Beautiful
I was really hornli when I woke up this morning.
Thank goodness for the helmet-camera so that we who would never dare such a feat can appreciate those marvellous folk who can!

The go pro wide angle lens definitely makes the route look much steeper and distorts the true angles of the climbing.
Beautiful mate.
Excellent climb and filming. Congratulations.
Ee-Gad! The exposure on that climb is just dizzying. Great footage.

I cringe when I see these ridge walks ... i am not one to say I am afraid of heights but that makes my skin crawl
гарний ролік, надибав випадково, приємно , що Українською )))
That guy at the end was paragliding. It's a means of flying with hit air rising along side the peaks lifting you up. It was not parachuting.
Crampons on rock! Much respect!!
This brings back wonderful memories, thankyou!
What a thin peak!
Well done!
Does anyone know where to get a good topo/description of the Hornli route? I've been searching online but unable to find any. Thanks!
Best i.ve seen! Well done....gives me vertigo watching it!😅
My legs tingle watching this 😱😱
Was afraid to fall off my bed watching that! 😅
climbing up dead giants bodies- mainly skulls
I was hiking around Zermatt at the same time - not talented enough to tackle the Matterhorn mind. Stuck to the Kleine Matterhorn and Breithorn 😂
Take good care.......no one can help you up there....
focus on your foot...and keep your head down.....so down......
maybe mäny... töö männieh ^?^
omfg wow
Really anoying with the rop
парашут - то було сильно😂
awesome climb, i was just watching a video of a few people who died on this mountain a few hundred years ago
its the 2 dedliest mountain in history
@@mattarellopazzosgravato9041 I'd have thought that was K2 and Annapurna?
Beautiful BUT , No ,No No No and Hell no .
i almost died in big sur California many years ago . got into a situation where i panicked and almost fell about a thousand feet . After that i never went climbing again .
Meters?
Did someone put spray paint all over the mountain?
You guys are tied to each other but that's it for most of the route oh hell no.

Go climb it buddy.

залізти може й заліз, а зняти мене можна звідти?

Je l'ai fait c'est plus impressionnant en vidéo que en réalité
